review 1: I've realized that when it comes to Darren Shan I must be indulging in my masochistic side. This series will be the death of me and though I keep telling myself to wait until its finished before I continue reading, I find myself chasing each new edition like a favorite comic. By now I'm well familiar with the set-up. Recap, continue the story, add some new revelations, and then STAB THE READER IN THE GUT AND TWIST THE KNIFE!!! Everytime you're 3/4's of the way done with these books, you should get on edge and wait for the knife. Even though you know it's coming, Darren Shan still finds a way to catch you off guard. Clans is probably executed the best so far and that's saying a lot considering it took the entirety of the first book for most to realize the main character was... more a girl and the same book ended with her heart being ripped out! There are other moments throughout the series that will leave you shocked and cursing the name Darren Shan, but none so intense and deserved thus far than Clans. Slack-jawed is one of those cute phrases that's rare to see in real life, but Clans will make it happen. I literally gasped, went slack-jawed, and then proceeded to let out a steady flow of expletives. I hadn't had a similar reaction to a book since the last chapter of The Dark Tower or when Snape killed Dumbledore! Damn you Darren Shan, please take my money again in October when the next book is released!Updated my rating from 4 to 5. That last page and all too important word at the end, really solidified this book as about as perfect as one can expect from an author.
review 2: What's next for B? When readers left her last, she had just begun battling the Klanners whose goal wasn't just to attack the zombies, but mostly to eliminate anyone who didn't fit their racist views. It would seem that with the world overrun with zombies anyone still alive would ban together no matter their race or ethnic background. B and her fellow Angels are shocked to realize that these Ku Klux Klan crazies are intent on destroying the living or the dead if they represent some minority. B thought she left those prejudices behind when she escaped her racist father.To complicate matters, Dan-Dan has returned. The fat man dressed in the sailor costume is guilty of killing children, and all B wants to do is rip him to pieces, but instead she finds she must protect him if there is any chance that she can rescue her best friend Vinyl and other Angels being held captive by the Owl Man.The action and excitement continue as B takes daring chances in her attempt to return control of the world to the living. Fans of Darren Shan's ZOM-B series won't have to wait long for book #8, ZOM-B FAMILY, due for release in October. less
